i have never heard people discussing it in here. well i havent tried the search function though, but it seems to me that everytime i see ama thread asking about amplifier recommendation, damping factor is never mentioned.
a friend of mine, an acoustic expert / sound engineer helped me with my choices on an amplifier.
i think i need 5 or 7 channel amp, around 125 watts per channel. if i found a 200 watts per channel amp for 5 channels not much more expensive than 125 wpc for 7 channels, i think i would prefer the 200 wpc 5 channels.
okay, so i found
b&k reference s2 125.7. msrp 1399 bucks.
sherbourn 5/1500. msrp 1750 bucks. this one seems to be discontinued, i couldnt find it on sherbourn's website. so i compared the b&k with sherbourn 7/1250A for 2000 bucks msrp.
my friend asked me to compare their damping factor, and it turned out that b&k amp's damping power is rated at 180 at 50 hz. the sherbourn is below 150 on the lower freq, if i am not mistaken on reading the graph.

so, my friend recommended b&k. cheaper as well.
what do you guys think?
while we are on it, any recommendation on an amplifier, around 1500 dollar, 5 or 7 channels, not less than 125 watt per channel?
thank you.
